Radiant Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring with a Baguette Interlude on a Spaced Accent Band

Radiant Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring with a Baguette Interlude on a Spaced Accent Band

A radiant cut lab grown diamond in corner claws on a fine band carrying round accents set at intervals, with a single baguette laid into the run on each side. The baguette is the only step cut on the ring, and it appears once.

Putting one differently cut stone into an otherwise consistent row is a device borrowed from typesetting, where a single italic word in a line of roman does more than a whole italic sentence would. The rounds along the band all behave the same way, scattering small flashes as the hand moves, so the eye stops registering them individually after the first glance. The baguette behaves differently: it is a step cut, so it returns one broad flat plate of light instead of many small ones, and because it is the only stone doing that, the eye catches it every time. Placing it once on each side rather than repeating it keeps that effect intact. Repeat it three times and it becomes a pattern, and a pattern is exactly what the eye stops noticing.

Band details

The shank is fine, with polished metal between the accents and the baguette set flush into the line rather than raised above it. Keeping the baguette level with the rounds is what stops the interruption reading as an accident.

Metal options

Choose 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K or 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. Every metal is fully hallmarked. White gold is shown in the photographs and is rhodium finished, which keeps the metal neutral so the difference between the two cuts is the only contrast on the band.

Ring size

The ring is made to your finger size. Select your size at checkout. If you are unsure, we will send you a printable size guide before we begin work, and we position the baguettes so they fall symmetrically at any size in our range.

Custom orders

We can change the carat weight, the length to width ratio of the radiant, add more baguettes or remove them for a uniform round run. Write to us through https://mapplegems.com/pages/contact and our workshop will prepare a quotation and a rendering before any metal is cut.

Frequently asked questions

Is a lab grown diamond a real diamond
Yes. It is carbon in the same crystal structure as a mined diamond, with the same hardness and the same optical properties, graded on the same scales.

Does the ring come with a certificate
Yes. An IGI certificate for the center stone is included at no extra charge.

Why only one baguette on each side
Because a single different stone in a consistent row is caught by the eye every time, while a repeated one becomes a pattern the eye stops noticing.

How is a baguette different from a round
It is a step cut, returning one broad flat plate of light rather than many small flashes. That is why it stands out against a row of brilliants.

What is a radiant cut
A cut cornered rectangle faceted like a brilliant rather than a step cut, giving the outline of an emerald cut with the fire of a round.

Can this ring be resized
Yes, working in the plain metal between accents on the lower shank.

How long does the ring take to make
Each ring is made to order. Production usually takes twelve to sixteen working days before dispatch.

Why buy a lab grown diamond

A lab grown diamond gives you a larger stone and a higher colour and clarity grade for the same budget, with a traceable origin and no mining. Mixing two cuts on one band only works if their colour matches exactly, which is straightforward when both are grown to the same specification.
